Description

This artwork by Buck Nin features the unique design of a false door within the work. The artwork was in fact originally commissioned to be created around a doorway on a wall in the University’s Language Institute.

When the mural was moved to its current position in S Block it was decided in consultation with Buck’s wife that a faux door should be installed to maintain the integrity of the original design.
